Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the afternoon of November 22, the escort fleet from Ganghwa Bay had already left the coast of Goryeo for 320 miles. At this time, the northerly wind became stronger and stronger, and the waves stirred up were nearly five feet.

    Each ship turned its sail to the side, took advantage of the diagonal upwind, and used wind symbols to counterattack from time to time to correct its direction. The speed had dropped to three tenths.

    Suddenly, the lookout pointed to the southwest and shouted: "There is a boat!"

    Wang Shouyu went up to the mast-top observation tower and looked to the southwest. He saw several masts appearing on the sea and sky line, and he couldn't help but high-five.

    Soon, the ambush fleet located eighty miles to the northwest and being gradually approached by the north wind received a report: "Suspicious ships appeared fifteen miles to the southwest, four ships, only the tops of the masts were visible, waiting for further confirmation."

    Chen Shandao, Lu Xixing, and Du Yangchen worked together and were almost certain that this was a pirate ship.  Otherwise, sailing here in the winter is a crossing route that few people take, and no normal seafarer would do this.

    After the enemy situation was clear, Chen Shandao ordered all ships to raise their sails, speed up to approach the convoy, put the infinite rosette and mist lily high in the sky, and at the same time fly to report to the joint meeting.

    Half an hour later, the number of identifiable main masts had reached twelve; at three o'clock in the morning, the number of main masts had increased to eighteen; at the end of the hour, the two sides were seven miles apart, and the other side's ship had completely revealed its true appearance.

    ??Six sea-going ships worth 500 tons, six ships worth 300 tons, twenty-six ships worth 200 tons, and twenty fast ships worth less than 100 tons.  The ratio of the enemy's main warships to the escort fleet was seven to two, and the ratio of small clippers was about five to two.

    In terms of battle array weapons, the advantage of the sea pirates is not so obvious. The ratio with the escort fleet is estimated to be seven to five. Although they still have the upper hand in terms of quantity, their power and range cannot keep up with the escort fleet.

    After receiving the news, Chen Shandao, while closing the distance with the escort fleet, also made some adjustments to the course, slowing down the speed of approaching the escort fleet.

    When communicating with Wang Shouyu, Du Yangchen asked: "The commander-in-chief wants to know whether your unit can withstand this encounter?"

    Wang Shouyu immediately understood the idea of ??ambush the fleet and replied: "Please rest assured Chen Tianshi, please rest assured Lu Tongzhi and Du Qianshi, our troops can attack, and the main force can continue to hide and wait."

    At four o'clock in the morning, the escort fleet made formal contact with the pirate fleet, and the escort fleet commanded Wang Shouyu's ship to fire the first shot.  Therefore, the battle took place to the west of Ganghwa Bay, so it is also called the Battle off Ganghwa Bay.

    During the fierce battle with the pirates, Wang Shouyu's escort fleet reported the battle situation to Chen Shandao from time to time, and the battle situation was also fed back to the joint meeting.

    The escort fleet has a long range and many magical weapons. The overall formation strives to stay on the periphery, trying to use its long-range advantage to bully the pirates' inferior firepower.  The pirates, on the contrary, desperately approached the escort fleet and sought a close combat siege.

    When the war reached You, the joint meeting was notified of the results of the battle, and a pirate ship with a hundred materials was sunk.  Yang Fuwen took off a small black nail stuck on the map.

    At four o'clock in the hour, the second result of the battle was confirmed. One of the pirates' 200-material ship was sunk, and Yang Fuwen picked off another black nail.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    At the end of the hour, the pirates finally fought with the escort fleet at the cost of four ships. The first loss of the escort fleet was reported - a burnt-out speedboat.

    Chen Shandao led the ambush fleet and had approached thirty miles away from the battlefield. Infinite Rosette and Cloud Lily each took off and saw the two sides fighting fiercely. They hid in the clouds and carefully searched the surrounding sea, but still found nothing.  The main force of pirates.

    The sun has completely set, and the fighting is still going on. The pirates have lost eight ships, large and small, and a sailing ship in the escort fleet has sunk, and a patrol ship has been seriously injured and withdrawn from the battle.

    The escort fleet has approached twenty nautical miles, but the main force of the pirates still has not appeared, and Chen Shandao is still patient.

    At the end of the day, the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and they could identify ourselves and the enemy through the flames of warships burning on the sea.  The latest battle report was delivered to the joint meeting. Six to nine enemy ships were sunk and four to six were damaged. The specific results will not be confirmed until tomorrow. The escort fleet lost three patrol ships, three wind speedboats, and a 500-meter ship.  It is expected that the main warship has been damaged and needs to exit the battlefield as soon as possible.

    This night's naval battle will be very long. Because the line of sight is unclear, the use of magic weapons will also be greatly affected. You must be extra careful when maneuvering the ship to avoid accidentally rushing into the opponent's warship.

    Therefore, the naval battle at night is not as intense as during the day, and the frequency of magical weapon launches is also greatly reduced. The two sides compete in sailing and control. The escort fleet wants to use this to distance itself, while the pirates want to bite the escort fleet.

    The ambush fleet sent a message to the joint meetingAccording to the battle plan, they were prepared to wait one more night. After dawn, regardless of whether the main force of the pirates appeared or not, they would surround the pirates on the battlefield.  After discussion at the contact meeting, this plan was agreed because everyone felt that the main force of the pirates might not appear on the battlefield.  If it were not night, they would even suggest that the ambush fleet be dispatched immediately.

    Zhao Ran stood up and said to everyone: "Let's all go out and walk around. Change your mind. You have been sitting here for a few days. There should be no bigger changes tonight. If anything happens, it will happen tomorrow."

    Miss Ninth stood up first: "I'm going to see Zhong Ning."

    Lu Yuanyuan said: "I'll go find Rong Niang and talk for a while."

    Wei Chaozong and Tang Yaozu went out side by side. One said: "There are only more than fifty ships, so the pirates don't plan to support them?"

    Another said: "They don't know where the ambush fleet is. Maybe they think these ships are enough to eat up the escort fleet."

    "That's right. Our disguise at Songjiang Camp is pretty good. The guard towers on many of the islands outside are all pretty. I didn't notice it when I went to see it"

    Zhao Ran immediately remembered the disguise of the Songjiang Camp and also considered this issue. Could it be because the pirates believed that the strength of the escort fleet was not a concern, so they did not send the main force?

    Where is Taoist Wutong?

    Taoist Wutong is in Shengsi right now!

    A large number of pirate ships quietly arrived in the Shengsi waters under the cover of night.

    Zhang Zheng and Yin Zhanlong each commanded a group of pirate ships to line up on the left and right. The shopkeepers and gang leaders under them were very nervous and kept asking if they could get in.

    The two of them smiled and comforted their men, pointing to the water villages on each island and saying: "It looks like it is heavily guarded, doesn't it? Hey, most of them are fake! Let's go into the water channel!"

    Zhang Zheng and Yin Zhanlong took the lead and zigzagged in from Dongfu, Kaishan, Daishan and Gualian south of Shengsi, sometimes veering to the left and sometimes to the right, but none of the water villages they passed issued a warning signal.  , just quietly sneaked to the outer harbor of Songjiang Wei Camp!

    These shopkeepers and bosses all found it incredible and couldn't believe it, but everything they saw showed that they had indeed silently broken through the security guard on the surrounding islands, and the Songjiang Wei camp was right in front of them!

    There was no need for Zhang Zheng and Yin Zhanlong to give any more instructions as to what to do. Everyone knew what to do and it took half an hour to prepare. Everyone was excitedly looking forward to Taoist Wutong¡¯s order.

    Taoist Wutong lived on the Qianliang ship, looking at the brightly lit Songjiangwei Camp in front of him, a sense of heroism arose spontaneously, as if the world was stepping on his feet.

    He waved his hand downwards fiercely and shouted: "Let go!"
